33. The representative of the United States of America, on behalf of the Chair of GRSP

informed WP.29 about the results made by his group during its fifty-ninth session (for

details, see the session report ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/59)

34. He informed the World Forum that the expert from Belgium had introduced a

proposal to transfer additional safety provisions for electrical safety of trolleybuses from

UN Regulation No. 107 (M2 and M3 vehicles) to UN Regulation No. 100 (Electric Power

Trained Vehicles). Thus, he announced that the expert from Belgium had volunteered to

conduct a detailed analysis and to introduce a proposal on all related issues to GRSG and

GRE.

4. Working Party on Pollution and Energy (GRPE) (Seventy-third session, 7-10 June

2016) (agenda item 3.5.4)

35. The Vice-Chair of GRPE, Ms. R. Urdhwareshe (India), reported to WP.29 about the

results achieved by GRPE during its seventy-third session (for more details, see the report

of the session ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRPE/73).

36. WP.29 was informed about the extension of the mandate of the IWG on PMP until

June 2019 with two new specific objectives in the updated terms of reference and rules of

procedure: (a) Perform a Round Robin test to demonstrate the feasibility to measure

particles with a size below 23 nanometre with the existing PMP methodology properly

modified; (b) Develop a suggested common test procedure for sampling and assessing

brake wear particles both in terms of mass and number.

37. WP.29 noted the conclusion of the activities by the IWG on GFV and acknowledged

the work performed by the IWG during its mandate.

38. WP.29 was informed about the election of officers postponed to the next GRPE

session in January 2017 since there was no candidate for the Chairmanship.

39. The representative of the European Union informed WP.29 about the new European

legislation on emissions coming into force for new vehicles as of September 2017. She

insisted that no vehicles will be allowed to enter into the European market without fulfilling

the new provisions on real driving emissions and Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicle

Test Procedure (WLTP). She mentioned that for this purpose, the European Union Member

States may envisage to cease applying UN Regulations Nos. 83 and 101 as of September

2017.

40. The representative of OICA stressed the complexity to transpose the complete

WLTP project into the 1958 Agreement due to the lack of harmonization in the current UN

GTR No. 15. He also expressed his concern on the consequences for the industry if

Contracting Parties to the 1958 Agreement being member States of the European Union

ceased applying UN Regulations Nos. 83 and 101. He suggested a stepwise approach to

solve this urgent matter, whereby only the European part of WLTP would urgently be

transposed into UN Regulations Nos. 83 and 101, such that the UN Regulations would

reflect the EU legislation and thus still be applied by the EU, as has been done till now. He

added that the transposal of the complete WLTP could then occur in a further step. The

representative of OICA suggested that the further way forward for the transposal of WLTP,

either through a new UN Regulation or through amendments to UN Regulations Nos. 83

and 101, be kept open for the time being, for further consideration by GRPE and the

Informal Group on IWVTA.

41. Following the discussion, WP.29 agreed to introduce transitional provisions in UN

Regulations Nos. 83 and 101 to specify that Contracting Parties applying UN Regulations

Nos. 83 and 101 which would also apply WLTP as defined in UN GTR No. 15 (such as

EU) would have no obligation to accept type-approvals granted on the basis of test cycles


12

other than WLTP as of September 2017. WP.29 agreed to take this as an interim solution

while the new UN Regulation on WLTP would be developed. WP.29 noted no objection by

any of the Contracting Parties to the 1958 Agreement on this way forward. WP.29

requested the secretariat to prepare an official document for the WP.29 March 2017 session,

subject to the endorsement of GRPE at its January 2017 session, on supplements to

Regulations Nos. 83 and 101 introducing such transitional provisions.

42. The representative of Germany reported on the vehicle emissions testing programme

performed in his country. He provided WP.29 with the link to the report on the results,

which is available since April 2016: www.bmvi.de/SharedDocs/EN/Publikationen/bericht-

untersuchungskommission-volkswagen.html.

(WP.29-169-04-Rev.1). He explained that Stage 1 would include consolidation and freeze

of the existing Regulations and their gradual replacement by three new Regulations on road

illumination devices, light-signalling devices and retro-reflective devices. Stage 2 would

include further amending of the three new Regulations and Regulation No. 48 to introduce

technologically neutral and performance-based requirements. WP.29 endorsed the proposed

approach and extended the mandate of the Informal Working Group "Simplification of the

stated that following notification by the UN Office for Legal Affairs (OLA), internal

proceedings must be followed and he was hopeful to receive a positive outcome in the

following six months.

49. The World Forum welcomed the good news and noted no objection from the

represented Contracting Parties to the 1958 Agreement. Recalling the offer by EU at a

former session of WP.29 (report ECE/TRANS/WP.29/1112, para. 13), WP.29 invited the

73. He explained that to ease the conditions for accession to the 1997 Agreement by the

majority of Member States of the United Nations, the group proposed to exclude M1 and N1

vehicle categories from the scope of the Rules.

74. He, however, recalled that WP.29 at its 156th session (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/1095,

para 84), had decided to extend the scope of the UN Rules to M1 and N1 vehicle categories,

which had been reconfirmed at its 162nd session (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/1108) and that the

corresponding draft amendments (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2013/132/Rev.1 and

ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2013/133/Rev.1) had been developed by the Russian Federation and

CITA. He noted that a limited number of the Contracting Parties attended IWG on PTI and

asked, therefore, for guidance by WP.29 on the subject.

75. The representative of Finland proposed to keep M1 and N1 vehicle categories in the

scope of the Rules.

76. The representative from Hungary confirmed that for his country UN Rules covering

M1 and N1 vehicle categories, harmonized with EU legislation, would be necessary.

86. The World Forum was informed by the secretariat of the Working Party of Road

Safety (WP.1) about the outcome of the WP.1 March 2016 session on issues of common

interest for WP.1 and WP.29. Focus had been on two issues (a) the ongoing amendment

proposals to Annex 5 of the 1968 Convention on Road Traffic dealing with the provisions

for the lighting and light-signaling devices to be harmonized with those under the 1958

Agreement and (b) the amendment proposals to the 1949 Convention on Road Traffic. As

concerns the latter, WP.1 noted that, due to different legal procedures, the corresponding

amendments to the 1949 Convention could not be successfully adopted; WP.29 was

informed that WP.1 consequently might further review how the 1968 and 1949

Conventions can remain aligned, as needed.

87. The representative from Finland, ambassador of both the IWG on ITS/AD (see

ECE/TRANS/WP.29/1118 para. 92) and the new Informal Group of Experts on

Autonomous Driving under WP.1 reported on the important progress achieved during the

first meetings of this new Informal Group of Experts of WP.1. The Group had met three

times as of April 2016. He reported that (a) the group had assessed that no amendment to

the Convention(s) was necessary to allow for the testing of driverless vehicles on public

roads, (b) discussions are continuing on the need to further amend the Conventions to

address high levels of automation, and (c) the group was dealing with interpretations of

road traffic conventions for new technologies already on the market, including remote

controlled parking and semi-autonomous motorway driving.

C. Proposal for amendments to the Consolidated Resolution on the

Construction of Vehicles (R.E.3) (agenda item 8.3)

F. Any other business (agenda item 8.6)

Documentation: Informal document WP.29-169-13

92. The secretariat introduced WP.29-169-13, recalling the discussion that took place at

GRRF in the context of IWVTA (WP.29-168-15) and, separately, on the issue of the

performance of automotive systems in conditions other than those tested according to the

regulated test procedures as well as the fact that the new regulation on TPMS systems could

serve as a case study for consideration by the Working Parties. He added that the document

had listed the existing tools used to regulate the performance of automotive systems in

conditions other than those tested in the framework of type-approval or self-certification.

93. The representative of the Russian Federation supported the document and noted that

the importance of taking into consideration the wide variety of intelligent systems in vehicles.

In his opinion, there should be requirements for the reliability of the vehicles and components

and requirements for the performance of the vehicles in use. The first group of requirements

could be covered by the methodology applied by the manufacturer to the design process and

the information, which should be disclosed to the technical service, for type approval purposes.

94. He noted that the performance of vehicles "in service" differs from performance

prescribed for a new motor vehicle in UN Regulations and referred to R.E.3, paragraphs.

8.1.1.1. and 8.1.1.2. According to these paragraphs, the braking performance may be verified

by methods and at speeds different from those prescribed in the relevant UN Regulations No.

13 and 13-H. The representative of the Russian Federation proposed an approach to install

limits for decreasing performance of vehicles in use and verify them in the frame of the 1997

Agreement Rules. He proposed that the task could be reviewed by IWG on PTI to develop

related proposals.

95. The representative of the EU welcomes a discussion on this important topic on the basis

of this document yet sees the need for further horizontal reflections at the level of WP.29.

96. The representative of the United Kingdom, Chair of GRRF stated that the matter

might be considered under the PTI view point, but that the first priority would be to verify

the fitness of UN Regulations with regard to the points raised in the document.

97. Following the intervention of the representative of EU, WP.29 welcomed the

document and agreed that the Chairs of Working Parties should check the suitability of

Regulations dealing with complex electronic systems and software and, specifically focus

on the responsibilities of the approval applicant, the technical service and the Type

Approval Authorities, the precision of the requirements and identify, if needed, provisions

that could provide clarification to avoid ambiguity.
